Anberlin: New Surrender
I can only say one thing. Amazing! This CD has broken new ground for the band. I think it’s a masterpiece. When I first heard that Anberlin was switching record companies, I was kind of disappointed. I thought that they would be rushed to release a CD for …

Bossanova, 1990 Album by Pixies

Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells (Song)

Singer Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart isn’t the most handsome of guys, but he does have a unique voice that tends to draw me in at every turn. His voice does sound a bit scratchy but that is what makes his recordings so great. Rod Stewart has enjoyed great success as a singer …

Are You Sure Hank Done It This way is by Waylon Jennings
Are You Sure Hank Done It This way is by Waylon Jennings. It seems like he is asking a question about how Hank made it big because he is trying to copy him. I personally don’t think anyone needs to copy how someone else made it to be successful …

Overview —“ Surfing With The Alien, the second album released by Joe Satriani, is another of Satriani’s albums to be completely instrumental and driven primarily by his guitar work. One thing that I always liked about Satriani is that he wasn’t really one of the shredders who just played …

Elliot Yamin
I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.

Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral (Song)
Electric Funeral is a song by Black Sabbath which appears on their second record, Paranoid. Opening up with an iconic Tony Iommi riff which has a heavy wah-effect, the band goes for a simple sound, but a sound which they certainly make sound quite dark and heavy. Though I …

I was pleasantly surprised. The opening acts were …
Illmatic - Nas
